"school musical!!!" midge sang, pulling a poster from the wall.

"ooh what is it!?" i giggled.

"carrie?" she said, very underwhelmed.

"a little gruesome for a musical, but you're still auditioning right?" i asked.

"of course, i was born to play carrie white" she twirled.

speaking of the devil, kevin walked right past.

"kev, midge for carrie right?" i asked.

"sorry, reserved for cheryl. her orders" he held his hands up rolling his eyes in defeat.

"aw sorry m" i sighed, looking at her defeated expression.

"well cheryl would be the lead, like everything else" she rolled her eyes.

"i know, it's hard. i'm sure you'll get a roll, i always think that the other rolls are just as good, if not more memorable than the leads. just look at finding nemo! everyone talks about dory more than the poor little cripple fish" i giggled.

"true" she smiled, coming back around.

"next"

"midge. was auditioning for carrie. but apparently its not a fair race" she smiled sarcastically. "so i'll take anything"

"i'm sorry midge, but proceed" kevin.

she sang her song beautifully and acted her part as i watched on from the auditorium seats. she shuffled down off the stage and hurried over to me.

a sudden rush of confidence came over me and i walked over to the stage, kevin not even noticing my presence.

"alana mason, auditioning for carries mother" i smirked.

"oh go ahead ally" he smiled.

"i need you, i need you, i need you right now, yeah i need you right now. so don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down. i think i'm losing my mind now it's in my head darling i hope that you'll be here when i need you the most so don't let me don't let me don't let me down, don't let me down don't let me down"

i sang thirty seconds of the song and acted part of the play, i thought i did pretty well to be honest and was actually excited for the outcome.

"wow, thanks ally. i didn't realise you sang" kevin blinked.

"i don't, i suppose i do now?" i shrugged, jumping down from the stage and joining m.

she linked my arm and we made our way over to the door.

"cast list will be up at lunch!" he shouted back at us.

"thanks kev" i called back.

—————————————————

we shuffled over to the cast list at lunch, our stomachs doing flips.

i scanned over the sheet looking for my name.

"carries mom" i smiled proudly.

"dancer #14" midge cringed.

"at least it's not dancer #13 i mean that's just unlucky?" i tried to lighten the mood.

"but look, you're first understudy, so you get to be carrie if anything happens" i smirked, singing the last part theatrically.

"i know what you're thinking and no" she laughed, not wanting to sabotage cheryl.

we sauntered into lunch and over to the table, the guys all turning round to look at us.

"you are looking at the one and only, drum roll please"

they all hit their fingers against the table.

"carries mom and dancer number 14 can i get a cheer!?" i shouted.

they all cheered, sweet pea and fangs rushing over and lifting us up in the air.

"3" i warned him.

"2" he was in danger now.

"1" , i bit his hand and he dropped me, stealing his spot as i planted my butt down on the bench.

"always and forever a badass" he quoted.

——————————————————

i yawned as cheryl tried to show off singing some stupid carrie solo, not hitting the right notes at the right time.

"cheryl i think i speak on behalf of everyone here when i say that your performance was undeniable-" kevin started but was suddenly interrupted by a sandbag, only just missing cheryl's skull.

everyone stood up in shock, rushing over to the girl as she shook in fear, frozen to the spot.

"cheryl come on" toni soothed, pulling her away and out of the room.

"well let's get on with the show shall we?"
